REPORT: 4 MORE COPS RELIEVED OF DUTY

LOS ANGELES ( AP ) - Four more police officers who worked in the Rampart division have been relieved of duty and prosecutors expect more convictions tainted by misconduct to be overturned, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

The officers were relieved of duty last week, the Times reported, citing anonymous sources.  That means 20 officers have been relieved of duty, suspended without pay, fired, or who have resigned as a result of the worst police corruption scandal to hit the city in decades.

Eleven criminal convictions have been overturned and four inmates have been released from prison as a result of the scandal in which officers are said to have framed people for crimes they didn' t commit, lied in court to obtain convictions and in some cases shot innocent people.
